Pat Phelan already has quite a lot to be dealing with considering that he is holding Andy Carver hostage, Vinny is back on the radar and Daniel Osbourne is investigating him in Coronation Street – but Nicola Rubinstein has another bombshell in store for him tonight.

With Phelan distracted by his own self created dramas, Nicola is frustrated that she can’t get him on his own to talk – and she is bemused when she heads to the builder’s yard office and finds Daniel snooping around.

When Phelan eventually arrives, Nicola is relieved to get him on his own and she confides in him that she is pregnant – and Gary Windass is the father. Phelan is left dumbfounded by this news and it remains to be seen how he reacts.

But he instantly has some advice for his daughter which leaves her taken aback. What does he suggest about the future of her baby?
